Bulma kissed his face, covering it with affectionate feather soft kisses. Her body arched against his and she moaned, her fingers tangled in his spiky black hair.

"Oh Turles! I love you!"

Her deep blue eyes met his and Turles bent to kiss her again, his heart almost bursting with the new knowledge that she loved him. His arms held her tight against his chest as their bodies continued to move against each other's.

"Your mine, woman," Turles growled into her ear and possessively bit her neck, marking her as his mate…

Turles jerked awake from his dream and lurched upright in bed, his eyes sweeping the room until he found Bulma's tiny, sleeping form huddled on the far side of the bed.

"Damn," Turles muttered as he flopped back onto the bed. He'd had dreams of himself and Bulma making love before…but she'd never said she loved him.

Turles' obsidian eyes gleamed in the darkness. He'd never tell Bulma, but it was his secret hope that she would fall in love with him and would consent to him making her his mate.

But it was a useless hope, even if he didn't treat the woman as his whore, even if he hadn't killed her entire planet and everyone on it, she would still hate him. The only thing she liked about him was the sex, she'd said as much last night. It was so typical of him to fall for the one woman in the universe whose life he alone had completely destroyed.

Not to mention that he looked like her best friend.

What were the odds that the one woman in the universe who he could love be the one woman whose life he had ruined, but would also be his identical twin brother's best friend?

Goku.

How he loathed that name now. Whenever he tried to talk to the woman about her life on Earth it was Goku this and Goku that. Goku the wonderful, strong, man who had left with the other Saiyans to protect the Earth.

In the darkness of the bedroom Turles snarled silently. He had only met Vegeta once and had liked the man…but as for his other brother, Raditz, and Nappa…They were two weak blithering idiots who had their prerogatives all messed up. He hated them almost as much as he hated Goku.

Bulma muttered something in her sleep and rolled over, shivering as the sheet that had been wrapped around her slipped to the floor. She opened her eyes sleepily and retrieved the sheet before wrapping it around herself and, blinking away sleep, rolled back over to face Turles.

"Bulma." He gently pulled her body, sheets and all, into his arms.

"Hey, Turles," She greeted him, lifting her face for a kiss before yawning and nestling into his chest. "I was having the strangest dream."

"What about?" Turles idly played with Bulma's hair as she talked.

"Oh, it was nothing…It was stupid really…In my dream you got killed fighting those Kramned people and I was full of guilt because I hadn't told you yet."

"Told me what?" Turles asked, his curiosity piqued.

Bulma pulled her hair out of Turles' fingers and sat up, looking at him seriously. "I want to tell you…but I'm not sure how you're going to react."

"Well, just tell me and we'll see." Turles watched as several emotions flickered over Bulma's expressive face before sighing and taking her hand. "I promise you that no matter how horrible this thing is, you have to tell me. I won't hurt you."

"Promise?" Bulma asked quietly.

"Yes, now tell me."

Bulma opened her mouth to speak and paused, her eyes closing as if stealing herself for a physical blow. "Turles I think…I think…" Bulma let out a breath and quickly blurted out her secret. "I think I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant," The word fell from Turles' stunned lips. "Your pregnant?"

"I don't know…but I think I am…Are you mad?" Bulma looked at him fearfully.

"Mad? Why would I be mad?" A slight smile formed on Turles' lips. "It is mine, right?"

"Well who else's is it going to be? Of course it's yours!"

"Wow." Turles looked down at Bulma and kissed her reassuringly. "I'm going to be a father."

*~*~*

Goku followed Vegeta's lead and knelt in front of Frieza, gritting his teeth at the humility he was forced to display before this being who looked like a retarded gremlin turned drag queen.

"Ah, Prince Vegeta. How nice to see you again." The pink being motioned for Vegeta and his men to rise before slowly walking over and looking Vegeta up and down with a smirk. "Well, my little princeling, you certainly have buffed up since I saw you last."

Goku watched in fascination as Vegeta's tail bristled with indignation. He'd never seen Vegeta this controlled before. Usually, the hot-tempered Saiyan prince would have attacked the person who dared speak to him in such a manner.

"That you, your lordship." Vegeta's tone was barely civil and sarcasm dripped from each word like honey.

Frieza ignored Vegeta's insolent tone and turned to face Turles, recognition flashing across his face. "You look familiar, Saiyan…Have we met before."

"No." Goku glared at Frieza. "I grew up on Earth."

"Ah, an Earth-Saiyan…Tailless too." Frieza chuckled. "So what's your name, oh, tailless one?"

"My name is Goku!"

Raditz growled at his brother. "His name, my lord, is Kakarot, not Goku."

"Kakarot." Frieza nodded. "Yes a typical Saiyan soldier's name."

He turned away, his pink tail lashing about as he strode back to his throne and sat down. "Well, Vegeta, did you conquer my planet?"

"In one short day, sire." Vegeta bowed his head again in apparent respect. "We are here only to collect our fee."

"Are you?" Frieza laughed suddenly. "I take it you'll be leaving us as soon as you have your pay?"

"Of course." Vegeta lowered his head again, his eyebrows in a perplexed frown as he wondered what Frieza was leading up to.

"So, I take it you're not going to be speaking to the Saiyan who is destroying the planet Kramned?"

"Saiyan!?" Vegeta leapt forward, his entire body tensing. "Which Saiyan?"

"A Saiyan by the name of Turles." Frieza smiled.

"Turles!" It was Raditz's turn to sound amazed. He whipped around to face Vegeta. "My prince, Turles is my brother! Kakarot's identical twin, to be exact."

"I know," Vegeta growled at Turles and motioned for him to step back beside the others. "I met him once or twice when I was young."

"Does that mean you'll be staying?" Frieza asked innocently. "I do hope so, it's so hard to find good training partners these days and you Saiyans are the perfect punching bags."

Vegeta schooled his features and looked back in Frieza's direction. "When will Turles be arriving?"

"Oh, I don't know, a few days time." Frieza flippantly waved a hand. "It won't be that long a wait."

"In that case, with your permission, Lord Frieza, I and my men wish to stay until Turles arrives." Vegeta bowed.

"Of course, Vegeta." Frieza smiled coldly again and chuckled. "My facilities are at your disposal."

Vegeta bristled and turned away, motioning for his Saiyan companions to follow him out of the room. Goku gave Frieza one last unfriendly glare before following his prince, his mind on this new brother who would be arriving soon and what he would be like.

*~*~*

Turles finished pulling on his armor and stretched, his bland expression hiding the inner pleasure he was experiencing.

Bulma was carrying his child! And that meant that no matter how much she despised him she was tied to him forever now. She was, in effect, trapped in her relationship with him.

Although perhaps trapped wasn't the right word, Turles mused. After all, it wasn't like Bulma was unhappy about being pregnant. In fact, once Turles had assured her that he wasn't angry about the child she was carrying, she'd relaxed and had been only too happy to tell him about how much she wanted this child.

"Turles…you're going to be careful, right?" Bulma appeared from the bathroom, her hair loosely tied in a bun.

"Of course." Turles chuckled. "What's wrong?…You're not actually afraid I might get hurt, are you?"

Bulma blushed at his teasing. "I just don't want you getting killed, is all. If you're dead then Oitaroh becomes this little group's leader and he doesn't like me too much."

Turles playfully pulled Bulma closer to him and looked down into here eyes, unsure of how to tell her what he felt inside without appearing weak. "Bulma, I just want you to know that I don't view you as a whore anymore."

"You don't?" A light flickered to life in Bulma's glowing eyes.

"No…I view you more as…as…as a mate." Turles stuttered out, mentally cursing how hard this was for him to get out. "In fact, when I come back from fighting I'll tell my men and make it official."

"You look upon me as your mate?" Bulma asked in genuine surprise.

After spending almost a year with Turles and his men she knew that for Turles to view her as his mate meant that he had real feelings for her, more then just lust. If he really thought of her as his mate, it meant that he thought of her as his. A mate to a Saiyan was like a wife to a man…Only the relationship was something that went much deeper than marriage, it was an emotional attachment that couldn't be broken.

Turles swallowed hard. "I like you, a lot…I'm not sure why, but I do. And since you're now carrying my child I see no reason not to commit to you."

Bulma felt a slow smile break out on her lips and she lent forward to kiss Turles, her mind a whirl of what this meant for her future.

It was a relief to be sure, to know that Turles was going to view their child as more then a bastard half-breed, and yet she was unsure of what Turles would expect from her now that he was planning on naming her as his mate.

Sure, she was learning to like Turles more and more, it was just that no matter how close they grew she would always remember that he was the one who had killed her family.

A/N - Okay so we found out a lot this chapter. We found out that Turles does like Bulma a lot…in fact he seems almost obsessed with winning her love. Of course we also know that soon Turles is going to meet up with the Saiyans and that means that Bulma is going to meet up with Goku…and just what will Goku have to say when he realises that his brother had destroyed the Earth?
